Arthritis-Can Vitamin C Really Help?
Arthritis is a common problem, no longer really restricted to the old and aging, but to even young children who are afflicted early in their lives with rheumatoid arthritis, one of the most debilitating, painful forms of the disease. Osteoarthritis is the most commonly heard of form, typically affecting us as we age, due to just general wear and tear on the joints of the body, namely hips, knees, and ankles. Over time, the cartilage that cushions these joints wears away, causing the bones to grind against each other, limiting mobility, and causing pain and swelling to occur. We now know that osteoarthritis, in some cases, may be prevented, if action is taken early on to do so.
One of the most important things you can do is exercise, everyday. No matter how bad you feel, how busy you are, or how bad the weather is outside, you should exercise for at least 30 minutes everyday. Being in good physical condition can prevent many of the common medical conditions that plague us as we age, arthritis included.
Nutrition is also vitally important, in preventing many diseases, including all forms of arthritis. You should work hard to get all of your daily vitamins and nutrients, even if you have to take daily supplements. Don’t wait until you are in your thirties or forties to start thinking about nutrition, because it may be too late. Vitamin C is very important, not only for your immune system, but for your entire body. Because it acts as an antioxidant, studies are stating to show that Vitamin C can help prevent, or at least, provide relief, from osteoarthritis.
Vitamin C may also help to prevent the loss of cartilage inside the joints, helping to prevent painful damage. Vitamin C acts to repair damage, rebuild cartilage, to prevent it from occurring in the future. It is recommended that to get the most benefit from Vitamin C, osteoarthritis patients get at least 200 milligrams everyday, and up to 1200 milligrams.
You can get Vitamin C from many sources, but if you don’t want to eat that many oranges, you can also take supplements. Talk with your doctor to find out how much Vitamin C you should have everyday, as too much can actually be detrimental to your health.
One physician tells her patients that rather than taking supplements, to drink black cherry juice, eight ounces a day, mixed with water, to get extra Vitamin C. Broccoli, cantaloupe, peppers, cranberry juice, and strawberries are all good sources of Vitamin C foods. Since eating fresh fruits and veggies is good for your health overall, you will get double the benefit here, without having to take another daily pill!
If eating a healthier diet, one rich in vitamin C, can help prevent arthritis, on top of all the other benefits that go hand in hand, what other excuse do you have now to not eat right? Bypass that burger joint, go home, grab an orange, a glass of cranberry juice, and veg- out!
